Description:
The present examination of the historical record of HED and mesosiderite basaltic meteorite falls attempts to determine whether that record is consistent with completely random fall times. Strong evidence for nonrandomness emerges, in view of a significant cluster of falls for the 1924-1939 period. The causes of the cluster appear to have acted only on basaltic meteorites, and in a way that was of only 15-year-duration.
